Buccaneer Region SCCA - Full House of Horrors Poker Run

Saturday October 24th, 2026

Check-in: 9:15am, First Car Out: 10:00am

We are excited to announce our latest road rally event for the greater Jacksonville area, a poker run! Each car will drive on paved public roads using a set of predefined route instructions through the greater Jacksonville area, stopping at specific locations to collect a playing card. Winners are determined based on highest poker hand (1st-3rd). This is not a time-speed-distance rally.

Participants will be treated (or tricked?) to legends and lore, proven hauntings, and eerie locations along the route with Halloween themed checkpoints for collecting your playing cards.

We will start at a fast food restaurant near downtown Jacksonville where cars will depart 1 minute apart. The finish will be a sit down restaurant, (TacoLu), where scoring, awards, and lunch will be available (you are responsible for purchasing your own food, we encourage everyone to eat and support the location).

New to road rally or unsure what this is all about? Check out this (somewhat lengthy but humorous) video explaination.

Any car is allowed, such that it meets all Florida state laws and is insured to meet the state’s minimum requirements. A valid driver's license and proof of insurance will be required at on-site registration. Each car is allowed as many people as there are seatbelts in the vehicle, but each car is suggested to have at least 2 people, a driver and a navigator. Team numbers will be assigned but the starting order will be determined at random.

~~There are three available classes for this rally: Stock, Limited and Seat of Your Pants.~~ Given the nature of this event, classes will not be used for this event but will still be shown/required during MSR registration. However, be sure to enter the same team name for championship tracking purposes.
Visit https://www.scca.com/pages/roadrally-rules for official class descriptions and rules. Below are some examples of the types of setups used in each TSD class.

Stock: Using your vehicle's stock trip/odometer, smartphone as a calculator, and a stopwatch (perhaps the same or another smartphone). This is the most common class and recommended for novices.
Limited: Using the car’s built in navigation system to show distance traveled, a 3rd party GPS tracking system via mobile app (i.e. Richta Odometer, Maps, or a Odometer/Trip app), as long as that information isn’t transferable to the calculating device (i.e. can't be the same smartphone running the app and calculations).
SOP: Just your odometer, pens/pencils, stopwatch, and gut instincts. No calculator of any kind.

Online registration for the driver and navigator is required.

Note - We will be using a new online platform to manage and issue playing cards digitally. You will be invited to participate in a team on CPRally. You will need to establish your account prior to the day of the event. It leverages Google for authentication, so if the email address associated to your MSR registration is a Google account, then you're all set. If the email address you register with on MSR is not a Google account, go to Google and make it one. Any email address can be a Google account, it does not have to be a gmail account.
